IDFA Award Winner ‘Canuto’s Transformation’ Debuts Trailer, Utopia Docs Handles Sales (EXCLUSIVE)
'Canuto’s Transformation' won the best film and outstanding artistic contribution awards in the Envision section of IDFA.
The film, directed by Ariel Kuaray Ortega and Ernesto de Carvalho, is based on the strange tale of Canuto, a man who mysteriously transformed into a jaguar and then died a tragic death. It mixes documentary and a re-enactment of the story of Canuto with all parts played by villagers from a Mbyá-Guaraní community nestled on the border between Brazil and Argentina. And with that we approach the drama of telling that story, with the strong complicity of the entire Mbyá-Guarani community that lived through the events narrated, decades ago.
